We hired a local firm for our conveyancing in Pontllanfraith last week. Looking through the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am on the hook for charges even if the movefalls through.

My wife and I are spending time viewing flats in Pontllanfraith and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with Lloyds.

It would be sensible to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Pontllanfraith

It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Pontllanfraith conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
